Lovely local food tour - We did a lovely food tour with Yen and V. They were so kind, and also were sensitive about our food preferences. They took us to places we wouldn’t have gone on our own. They are both excellent bike drivers and we really enjoyed the tour despite the rain. Thanks Yen and V!

Charm was fantastic - Charm was a fantastic guide. Not only did she introduce me to some great cuisine, she made sure to show me around her city and even taught me a few vietnamese phrases. Anyone who does a tour with her is in great hands.

Amazing tour! - Thanks so much for Victor and Chris to show us around on their motor bikes. We had a lot of fun and had very tasty food, most of it we never tried before. They even got me an extra durian ice cream that wasn't in the tour because I wanted to try it. Would highly recommend!!!

The best experience to see the streets and eat the best food. - This is a great way to get around and experience city life and cuisine. We stopped at different places to enjoy the food. The dishes, how to eat them and what sauces are suitable were explained. The tour guides' conversation was fun, interesting and they were very careful to make sure we were well taken care of. The best experience in Vietnam.

Best cultural experience with Vietnamese street food. - The Vietnamese dishes we tasted were all very fresh and delicious. Not only did we get to try different dishes, but the guide also taught us about the origins of the dishes and explained the different ingredients and culture behind the dishes. We also visited the local streets of Saigon, local life, different places, small local restaurants, street stalls, night markets and more. the instructor was a great guy and we had a good time. We're glad we booked the tour and recommend it to anyone wanting to learn more about the food and culture in Saigon.

Great experience tour with delicious food and Saigon culture. - This tour is a great way to get a taste of Vietnamese street food in Saigon. Our tour guide met us at the hotel and took us to each location talking not only about the food but also the cultural aspects of where we were staying. They picked out some really great places that we would have never found. Our tour guide, was fun and very helpful. My wife and I felt very safe while also feeling like we were on an adventure. Will recommend this tour to anyone I know when coming to Saigon.

Extremely interesting experience about street food. - My friend and I had a great time on this food tour with the handsome, funny guide. The food was delicious, authentic and he was very friendly, kind, always up for a chat and accommodated our food requests - we decided to get snails instead of bread, and also ordered a plate of scallops. I also learned a lot about life in Vietnam from him.
